Publisher's summary

Modern-day Georgia. The state Supreme Court celebrates the opening of its new courthouse, but the chief justice - shot dead in his chambers - is late to the party.

Enter ex-lawyer Chance Meridian. Pressed into service by an offer he cannot refuse, Chance launches the search for the bold killer. But dirty politics is part of Atlanta’s DNA. The town is full of secrets - secrets too damning to see the light of sunshine. And if Chance cannot crack the case and fast, the next murder on the court’s docket could be his own.

A stand-alone follow-up to the best-selling The Murder of Sara Barton, Death to the Chief is a thrilling legal mystery that oozes with intrigue and suspense.

McMillian and Lane are a great team

I’ve listened to the first two books in this series and I’m sold. The author is a great story teller and the narrator brings in to life. I had a hard times shutting this off at any time - the writer has a use of the language that compares to James Lee Burke and I can’t imagine anyone other than Christopher Lane reading!

More of the same

I have listened to the first 2 books twice and getting ready to listen to Book 3 again. This is very unusual for me to go back and pull up a series for the second listen, and I’ll be disappointed if there is no Book 4. Please continue the series.
Beautiful words put together so well and heart felt sentiment comes from the author.

Author & Narrator Match Made in Heaven!!

This series is one of my favorite so far. The pairing of Lance McMillian and Christopher Lane is what has been missing from my Audible queue and I am so glad I found them! Chance is human and real, flawed but still such a great litigator. The dialogue is hilarious and captures the south in such a great way. Good read, thoroughly enjoyed it.

Great Mystery!

I've listened to the first two Atlanta Murder Squad books and have greatly enjoyed them. Many twists and turns and a lot of bad guys! I love the narration by Christopher Lane, I feel like I'm truly in the south with his lovely southern speech.
